Fully electric FIA Formula E Championship returns to FS1 with Monaco ePrix

CHARLOTTE, NC – The fully electric FIA Formula E Championship, now in its third season, returns to FS1 on Saturday, May 13 (11:30 a.m. ET) with versatile motor sports broadcaster Bob Varsha hosting coverage from the Monaco ePrix.

After defending Formula E champion Sebastien Buemi got off to a perfect start to the season, winning the championship’s first three events, the points race got a lot tighter and a little more interesting after Lucas Di Grassi’s bold victory in Mexico City trimmed Buemi’s lead to just five points heading into Monaco.

The 1.097-mile, 12-turn Monaco ePrix circuit is a shortened version of the familiar Grand Prix course, as the Formula E version takes a hard right at Ste Devote rather than carrying on up the hill to Monte Carlo.
